@bsvkey/inference-mcp

An MCP server that lets any agent buy Claude & Grok inference metered per token, settled in BSV, through the hosted gateway at inference.bsvkey.com. Zero dependencies (Node ≥ 18, uses global fetch). It's a thin HTTP client — it never holds your keys or runs models; every call is billed through the gateway.

Tools: list_models, infer, channel_balance, open_channel, x402_infer.

Two ways to pay: a prepaid channel (infer, fund once, draw down per token) or per call via x402 (x402_infer — no channel; the agent pays each request in BSV with its own key). x402_infer needs a funded WIF (wif arg or BSVKEY_WIF) and the optional @bsvkey/x402-bsv-client + @bsv/sdk packages (installed with this one).

Verifiable metering. Each infer call returns a signed usage receipt, and the tool auto-verifies it offline (with the optional packages installed): the result includes receiptVerified and meterVerified (true, false + receiptCheck, or null if the verifier isn't installed). It recovers the broker key (pinned from GET /v1/receipt-key); checks channel binding, a monotonic sequence (no replay/gap), and running totals within the funded amount; recomputes the charge from the published rate (you can never be overcharged); and recomputes the token count from the exact bytes of your system/prompt and the completion, under the pinned bsvkey-meter/1 tokenizer. So the channel payment is on-chain and both the meter and the charge are auditable, without trusting the broker's word. Spec: https://inference.bsvkey.com/usage-receipts.md

Quick start

1. Fund a channel once at https://inference.bsvkey.com (BRC-100 wallet, or load a key in-page). Copy the key it returns: channelId:channelSecret.
2. Add the MCP server to your agent host (below), with that key in BSVKEY_API_KEY.
3. Ask your agent to run inference — it calls infer and pays per token.

list_models and open_channel work with no key; infer and channel_balance need a funded channel key.
